the bed was broken on one side so it felt like I was falling. Not one good night sleep. The whole cats although cute make the place smell like cat urine. Strangely I wasn't allowed to leave towel in bathroom so everytime I needed a wee or even wash my hands when coming home I had to go to my bedroom to pick up towel. There's no carpet on the top floor buy artificial grass instead? So when you walk it squeaks and sticks...not a fan.The landlady is actually very kind but the house wasn't for me.
Host reply
Thanks for the review. I am replacing this now.
Carpets- acquired taste. It's carpet or carpet.
Cats- a guest locked a cat upstairs and thats when an accident happened.
Towels: badic hygenie.
If you struggled with this or any thing to do with your stay it's always best to communicate in the moment. There was another bed, another towel and I am here to enjoy you have a great stop. Good luck with your tests.November 2016

Very nice and helpful host!
we took the train to go to her place, it's quicker than the bus but the station is further than the bus stop.
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
